The biggest question of all is why police overlooked the former forklift driver as a suspect in Victoria's murder in the first place. Yet he was never interviewed, arrested or even classified as an official suspect because bungling officers were focused on prosecuting the wrong man. At the time of Victoria's killing, Wright was living just half a mile away from her home in Trimley St Mary. Even after Wright's killing spree, police did not make any connection to Victoria's murder seven years earlier because she was not a prostitute. It wasn't until the 20th anniversary of Victoria's murder in 2019 that cold-case officers took a fresh look at the evidence.
